If I change NAT network in following way:

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" modifyvm "WXP" --natnet1 "10.12.49.208/29"

Virtual machine does not start with following error:

Unknown error during NAT networking setup: (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).
Návratový kód: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Komponenta: Console
Rozhraní: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}

but if modify in following way:

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" modifyvm "WXP" --natnet1 "10.12.0.0/24"

than machine start fine.

VirtualBOX 4.3.6 Any ideas?

Please provide a VM log file, if there is any?

I think that the routing prefix you used is a little bit unusual and it might confuse VBox. What were you trying to do? Limit the addresses to just 8?

I am trying to push VirtualBox to assign NAT IPs from given subnet. What is 'unusual' on /29 subnet? Its a RFC compliant CIDR subnetwork.
Is VirtualBox RFC observant?

L.

Perhaps you should read the Users manual about this (Chapter 6-4) This is a basic use adaptation and experimental. From what I see it is very basic and subnets and super subnets are not figured into the code (yet).
